I could NEVER teach 6th graders

[cornerofmadness]

Dear sweet goddess how the hell does anyone do it? Granted they loved what I did (we played games with the senses. I let them smack each other with tuning forks and gave them Skittles) but they're like herding cats with attention spans of nothing. there was one visual illusion,
Kanizsa triangle that they really surprised me with. ALL of them thought this looked like pac man's. Some of them even knew when pacman was made. They weren't even BORN then. Go pac man go. (btw do YOU see a floating white triangle in that picture)

I do love though that they are so curious at that age. I wish that MY students were that curious. Hell these kids could tell me how vision worked, what part of the brain it goes to and that it is upside down and backwards when it gets there. MY students can't. now see, there just IS no excuse.

So outside of my Welsh lessons, I don't have to go down there for anything. Speaking of Welsh I still now how to ask for a beer and I can say it's raining

Mae hi'n bwrw glau (and boy IS it. In fact I should be sayin Mae hi'n stormus)


And bob_fish has been amusing herself by sending me porny Roy pictures. Ah.... that's n ice

I see a floating white triangle, but I get a headache if I look at it too long.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no doubt.

and you only think you see that triangle. it doesn't exist. It's your brain filling in patterns.

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

And do they know the difference between a pupil, a lense and an iris? Probably.

I saw the white triangle.

And because I'm nice, have another link to Roy getting it hard (http://bob-fish.livejournal.com/26525.html?thread=781725#t781725). I think you're going to enjoy the details in this one.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes. they knew the pupil was a freaking hole. Unlike FMA fandom and my students

you only THINK you saw that triangle. It doesn't actually exist

yes I have that image. It's from one of the fan made games that came out some time ago (or looks just like it) and yes that's nice

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

XD

I know, dude - your mind fills in the blanks. Eyes iz clever.

There's a fan-made game to go with that??! I'm both excited that there's a plot attached to the filth and sad because getting a definitive answer as to who's giving it to him would put paid to all the delicious possibilities.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes it does, clever brain

yeah the game is years old now since I think I was still in WI the first time i saw this. I do know who it is giving it to him (unless my brain edited it out) Hell there used to be two little 'games' were you could stroke virtual Ed or virtual Roy into coming all over themselves...wait...you stroked Roy but I think Ed got it with a dildo now that I think about it.

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, not eyes, brains. Brains iz clever. Apart from mine, apparently. XD

Hohoho, so who is it? From your none-too-thrilled tone I am guessing it might be Ed. TBH the rain meant my first guess was Riza + a strap-on. Cracky, but hey. The game sounds like it's all in the best possible taste. Frankly, any game where you can get extra points by wanking off Roy is worth a wasted afternoon for me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort

no, no, it's Maes.I just didn't know if you wanted to know.

Hey Riza with a strap on would be good too.

I got particularlly good at making him go just by teasing his nipples and ears (game roy liked that)

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

That works nicely for me!

This game gets better and better. You don't remember what it was called, by any chance?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no i do not. ELD might. The Ed one wasn't nearly as entertaining as Roy. It felt more like you were victimizing young Ed but Roy...

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Roy's into it? You shock me, sir. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Roy blushes so he looked vaguely embarrassed but none too put out

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

OMG every time I think it can't, it just gets BETTER AND BETTER. He's pasty so I bet he'd flush charmingly, too. You didn't make this game up to tease me, did you? XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i swear I didn't. I wish I knew where that game was. It was bookmarked on a computer that got hit b y lightning.... (figures)

[roguewords.livejournal.com]

I can see the pac mans. :P and the white triangle that isn't there.

there's a reason my mom teaches middle school. because when they want to learn, they really want to learn.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the 6th graders wanted to learn more than my college students but they can't sit still to DO It

yeah I see that non-existant triangle too. It's kinda freaky deaky

[roguewords.livejournal.com]

that's why sixth graders are still required to take pe classes. they have to burn off energy to be able to sit still.

and why good middle school teachers don't just have them sitting in a desk all the time.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh i believe that

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yay for herding cats engaging kids. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

at least they wanted to learn something...most of them

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's something.
